Madeiro
Edit SpotAbout
This is one of the most beautiful spots of the region, naturally protected from the strong onshore winds that blow all day long. You can surf with dolphins and there a few tourists as well.
Additional Info:
This can be one of the longest rides of the region. The take off is quite mellow and the wave starts walling up. The inside section can be punishing with major close outs or can be heaven if you dig a barrel or floater.
